How Qnovo's SentinelX Will Enhance EV Battery Safety
SentinelX represents an innovation in battery safety, aiming to ensure a zero-incident future for electric vehicle (EV) operators.
The comprehensive software solution, unveiled by Qnovo—a leader in battery software for e-mobility—addresses critical safety concerns while optimising battery performance and longevity.
An era of battery safety
Proactive incident prevention
Qnovo SentinelX acts as a first line of defence for automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), detecting and mitigating risks such as faulty or degraded EV batteries before incidents occur. Real-time battery management reduces costly recalls and warranty claims while enhancing consumer safety.
Nadim Maluf, CEO of Qnovo, highlights the importance of safety: "Proactively identifying and resolving battery issues should be an industry standard, not an afterthought. Battery safety must guide every step of electric vehicle innovation."
Impressive accuracy and versatility
With an accuracy rate exceeding 98.7%, SentinelX sets a new standard in battery safety solutions.
In advanced road testing with major automotive fleets, OEMs are provided with options for integration directly onto a vehicle's battery management system (BMS) or as a cloud-based solution.
- SpectralX adaptive fast charging (AFC): The feature dynamically adjusts charging profiles to stabilize battery cells, enabling faster charging while extending battery life. Designed for high-demand applications like taxi fleets, it allows OEMs to offer extended warranties with reduced liability risks.
- Health and safety diagnostics (HSD): Through advanced real-time analytics, HSD identifies unstable cells, enabling OEMs to address issues proactively and prevent incidents and costly recalls.

Sustainability meets market demand
Qnovo's solution addresses the growing demand for affordable and adaptable EVs. Customers want vehicles that are compatible with various chargers and functional in diverse weather conditions.
By integrating advanced software like SentinelX, OEMs can lower production costs and deliver safer, more competitive EVs.
What's more, the potential for cost savings is immense. According to ABI Research, advanced battery management system (BMS) software could save automakers US$18bn annually by 2030, amounting to US$76bn in cumulative savings from 2024 onwards.
Qnovo stands out in this field and is featured prominently in ABI's latest report as a leading innovator driving these efficiencies.
Qnovo plans to expand SentinelX's capabilities and introduce EV maintenance features by late 2025. The features will integrate advanced diagnostics and historical data to enhance battery safety and streamline repairs throughout the EV lifecycle.
It will showcase SentinelX at CES 2025 in Las Vegas, offering attendees a chance to experience the technology firsthand and engage with Qnovo's leadership.
While initially targeted at the automotive sector, Qnovo SentinelX is adaptable across industries. Applications range from energy storage to industrial, mining, construction and consumer electronics, highlighting the software's versatility.
With SentinelX, Qnovo is enhancing EV safety and redefining the future of energy management across industries.
